Upton Irish Heritage Woven Blanket | Family Crest Tartan Throw

The Upton name in Ireland carries the heritage of an English settler family that became part of the Protestant gentry tradition of Munster, their name established in County Cork across several centuries. This woven blanket honours that heritage through the Upton family crest and the Irish National Tartan.

The Upton Name

From the English place name Upton — meaning upper settlement — the Upton family came to Ireland in the seventeenth century and settled in County Cork and County Antrim. They are best known in an Irish context through their County Antrim branch, the Uptons of Castle Upton at Templepatrick, one of the notable gentry seats of the province. The castle, designed in part by Robert Adam, stands as a monument to the family’s standing in eighteenth-century Ulster society. The Uptons served in the Irish Parliament and in military service across several generations, their name a consistent presence in the records of the Protestant gentry community. The name endures today in both Antrim and Cork, a quiet marker of two distinct strands of Irish settler heritage.

Woven Craftsmanship

The Upton crest and Irish tartan design are woven into the fabric — not printed. The pattern is integral to every thread, giving the blanket its depth, texture, and lasting quality. Made from premium cotton yarn with traditional fringed edges.
